The cover 24 has a known structure for guiding the game ball to the special winning opening 23 by the guiding action. The central portion of the special winning opening 23 is set as a specific area 25, and the game ball is placed in the specific area 25 as described later. When it enters, the continuous opening operation is caused.

Next, the operation of this structure will be described.

When a game ball is hit on the game board 3 and passes through the normal start gates 13 and 13, the instrument type display 3
0 stepping motor 34 starts to drive and instrument panel 3
The pointer 33 rotates above 1. After rotating the pointer 33 for a predetermined time, the pointer 33 slowly rotates for the last round, and further, it naturally slows down and stops in one of the selected regions 32. When the pointer 33 indicates the predetermined hitting area 32, the hitting operation occurs. Here, since the stepping motor 34 is provided as the rotation driving means, the hands 33 can produce analog smooth and continuous operation like the hands of a timepiece.

The selection of the selected area 32 is made based on the random number table stored in the storage device ROM in the microcomputer constituting the control command means of the present invention, which will be described later. Is executed by controlling the stepping motor 34 so that the pointer 33 stops in the hit selection area 32. When there are a plurality of hit selection areas 32, the stop selection area 32 is determined by a random number table for area determination, and then the pointer 33 is moved by the control of the stepping motor 34.
Stopped at 2. Similarly, in the case of a loss, after the loss selected area 32 is confirmed by the random number table, the pointer 33 is stopped in the selected area 32.

During operation of the pointer 33, the speaker is passed through the sound generator and the amplifier shown in FIG.
Imitation sounds such as "tick, tick" and "tick, tuck" are played to make it feel as if the clock is turning, increasing the fun of operation, and the player's uplifting feeling toward the decision. May be promoted to improve expectations and excitement for the game.

As an operation when a hit display is made by the instrument type display 30, for example, the normal variable winning device 15
Is opened, and the pair of blades 16 and 16 are opened for about 5.8 seconds. The hitting operation may be a reciprocating opening / closing operation. Ordinarily, up to four passages through the starting gates 13 and 13 may be stored and displayed on the storage display means (not shown), and may be sequentially executed every storage exhaustion.
As will be described later, the opened normal variable winning device 15 is closed after a predetermined time has elapsed or a predetermined number of prizes have been won.

When the game sphere passes backward through the special starting opening 14, the special symbol display 6 is driven together with the supply of the prize sphere. When passing through continuously, the standby recording lamp row 9 is sequentially turned on and up to four lamps are held.

As the ball passes through the special starting port 14,
When the special symbol display device 6 is driven, the special symbol display portions D, E, F start to change by switching control by the symbol display drive circuit, and after about 8 seconds, the special symbol display portions D, E,
The fluctuation stops in the order of F. At this time, when the symbols of the special symbol display portion D and the special symbol display portion E coincide with each other, the special symbol display portion F causes a special operation corresponding to the reach state such as low speed scrolling, and the player's feeling of uplifting. After increasing the length, the special symbol display portion F is stopped. At this time, if the special symbol display portion F is stopped with a different symbol, the original state is restored.

On the other hand, the special symbol display portions D, E, F are, for example, "111", "222", "334", "444".
In the case of a big hit display such as the same numbers or alphabetical symbols, the speaker emits a sound through the sound generator and the amplifier of FIG. 4 and the solenoid of the special variation winning device 22 is driven. , The lid 24 tilts forward and the special winning opening 23 is opened, and the specified winning number of 10 game balls is won, or the maximum opening time of about 30 seconds is satisfied, whichever condition is satisfied. Then,
The opening operation is ended once. The special winning opening 23 is continuously driven when passing through the specific area 25, and the special winning opening 23 is opened again after the opening operation is completed. The maximum number of continuous operations is 16 including the first opening.

The control of the series of special symbol display 6 and the instrument type display 30 described above can be easily executed by the control command means constituted by the microcomputer including the central control unit MPU shown in FIG.

The central control unit MPU executes a control operation in a predetermined procedure, and is connected to a storage device ROM for storing an operation program and a storage device RAM capable of reading and writing necessary data at any time. Storage device RO
In M, fixed data such as a control program, a random number table, a big hit game pattern and a display pattern of a lamp, an LED, and a sound generation pattern from a speaker are stored.

The memory RAM normally has a starting gate 13
Detection switches S1 and S1 for a and 13b, special starting port 1
4, 14 detection switches S2, S2, a V winning switch provided in the specific area 25, and a special variation winning device 22
The special winning opening 23 or the detection signal from the count switch provided in the winning opening of the normal variation winning device 15 is stored, or the indication position of the selected area 32 and the special symbol are displayed by the pointer 33 of the instrument type display 30. Design display part D of vessel 6
A storage area for temporarily storing data that determines the stop display mode of F, a register area that constitutes a soft timer, and a work area of a microcomputer are provided. Furthermore, from the central control unit MPU to the storage device RAM
An address bus for unilaterally transmitting information designating an address for reading and writing data, and a data bus for exchanging data with the central control unit MPU and the storage devices ROM and RAM are connected.

Further, the microcomputer includes a power supply circuit for supplying electricity to the MPU, a voltage detection circuit for sending a reset signal via an OR gate when the power supply voltage deviates from an allowable voltage value, an oscillation circuit for generating a clock pulse, A frequency divider for dividing the clock pulse of the oscillation circuit and sending a reset signal to the reset terminal via the OR gate is connected.

On the input side of the central control unit MPU, detection switches S1 and S1 of the ordinary starting gates 13 and 13 and a special starting port 14 are provided through a waveform shaping circuit for preventing chattering.
a, 14b detection switches S2, S2 and a specific area 25
A V-winning switch, a count switch, and the like provided therein are connected, and the signal sent from each switch is shaped by a waveform shaping circuit to be transmitted as input data to the central control unit MPU.

On the output side of the central control unit MPU, a driver circuit for receiving the output data and driving each device is connected, and the driver circuit is connected to the special symbol display portions D and E of the special symbol display device 6. , F, the stepping motor 34 of the instrument type display 30, the solenoid of the variable winning device 22, the stored number display LED 11, the windmill lamp, the side lamp, etc. are connected. Further, a sound generator that receives sound data and outputs it to an amplifier is connected to the central control unit MPU.

In the control processing procedure (main routine) of the main processing controlled by the above-mentioned microcomputer, the driving subroutine of the meter type display 30 of FIG. 5 is incorporated and sequentially executed.

That is, the storage device ROM is provided with a low-probability random number table and a high-probability random number table for determining the hit probability of the meter-type display 30, and as shown in FIG. The high-probability random number table is extracted due to the occurrence of the probability fluctuation signal.
This probability fluctuation signal is generated, for example, when the variable indicators D, E, F of the special fluctuation winning device 22 are aligned at "777" and after the jackpot operation is completed. Then, for example, the ON state of the probability variation signal is maintained until the next hit operation occurs. In this case, for example, the high probability random number table has a winning probability of 10/12, and the low probability random number table has a winning probability of 1/12.

By the way, in this way, when the low probability random number table fluctuates to the high probability random number table due to the ON signal of the probability fluctuation signal, the number of hit selection areas 32 of the instrument type display 30. Are the same, all selected areas 32
The probability on the surface (1/8 in the figure) that is determined by the ratio of the hit selection area 32 to the actual probability that is determined by the high-probability random number table deviates, the consistency is lost, and a strange hit operation state occurs. .

Therefore, each selected area 32 is formed by a lamp, and only the selected selected area 32 is lit and displayed. As shown in FIG. 5, area control control is performed for each random number table. The number of hit selection areas 32 when the high probability random number table is selected is made larger than the number of hit selection areas 32 when the low probability random number table is selected. The apparent hit probability is approximated to the actual hit probability.

In this case, as shown by the instrument type display 30a in FIG. 6, a display lamp 35 corresponding to each selected area 32 is provided around the instrument panel 31, and the display lamp 35 is lit to light up. The selected area 32 may be designated.

Thus, the selected area 32, which is the area of the instrument panel 31 of the instrument type display 30, 30a, is changed, and each selected area 32 is lit and displayed, or each selected area 32 is displayed. The selected area 32 to be hit can be displayed by a variable display means such as providing a corresponding display lamp 35.

The on-actuation (high-probability state) of the stochastic fluctuation signal is generated under various conditions, such as in addition to the case where it is generated corresponding to the display selected area 32 of the big hit operation, it is always generated during the big hit. Can be set.

On the other hand, the hit selection area 32 may be changed. In this case, in the configuration in which the selected area 32 is turned on, the hit selected area 32 is moved in the circumferential direction and stopped in either direction, or similarly, as shown in FIG.
In the above configuration, the display lamp 35 is moved in the circumferential direction and stopped.

The variation of the hit selection area 32 is provided by providing a variation gate on the game board surface and changing each time a ball passes through the gate, or when the selection area 32 is selected by the pointer 33. For the next extraction operation, various fluctuation generating means for immediately changing the lighting position of the selected area 32 are adopted. Then, the selection of the hit selection area 32 is
When the selection is made using the random number table for selection, and when the result is extracted from the random number table, the pointer 33 is stopped in the selected selected area 32.

In the above configuration, as shown in FIG.
Instead of the special symbol display device 6, as shown in FIG. 7, an instrument type display device 30 may be applied. In this configuration, for example, when three selected areas 32 are selected similarly to the special symbol display device 6, each selected area 32 is selected.
The symbols such as numbers are displayed in advance, and when the game ball passes through the starting opening 14, the stepping motor 34 is driven and stopped, and the pointer 33 sequentially indicates the selected area 32. Then, the designated selection area 32 is kept lit on the display lamp 35 of FIG. In this case, the same selected area 32 cannot be displayed. Alternatively, the memory indicator 52 shown at the bottom of FIG.
Thus, the selected areas 32 designated by the pointer 33 are sequentially displayed. Then, if the combination of the three selected areas 32 is a predetermined one, the special winning opening 23 is opened similarly to the case of the special symbol display 6 with this as a big hit.

In the operation of such a structure, when a game ball is hit on the game board 1 and passes through the starting opening 14, 235 frames stored in the storage device ROM connected to the central control unit MPU shown in FIG. One of the internal random numbers is selected and the content is stored. The number of memories is limited to the first four, and the number of memories is displayed by the standby memory lamp row 9 described above.

Then, after the stepping motor 34 of the instrument type display 30 is driven and the pointer 33 starts to rotate, it is determined whether to hit or lose according to the selected value.
Then, based on the hit determination result, the combination of the three selected areas 32 is determined from the internal hit random number or the internal hit random number stored in the storage device ROM, and the drive control of the stepping motor 34 is performed based on the contents. As a result, the pointer 33 stops at the position indicating the selected area 32 each time. Thus, by repeating this, the three selected areas 32 are determined.
